The price of life

We live in a country surrounded by oceans, where boundaries are
marked by beaches, where an army can’t simply march across a border.

And yet many of us have still known war. As a country we
still go to war.

But should we?

Fascinating and relevant question. There are good reasons why we should go to war but also poor reasons too.
Evil flourishes when good people do nothing...
If you had told my parents in Warsaw 1939 that's it's ok to let Germany roll across the border then systematically murder millions of people they considered untermenchen because there is no good reason to fight then you would have been considered mad.. Appeasement will never work..
